Terrible Railroad Accident.

The most horrible railroad accident
known in the vicinity of Boston. save
that at Revere several years ago, oc-
Cured at thirteen minutes past seven
o'clock Monday morning, on the
West Roxburv branch of the Boston
& Providence railroad, caused by the
giving away of the iron truss bridge
which spans South street at a point
about equi-distant from the Roslin-
dale and Forest Hills stations. The
train left Dedham at seven o'clock,
and consisted of an engine and nine
cars, in charge of Conductor W. H.
Tilden and assistants Mvron Tilden
and Webster Drake. 1t had taken
passengers at Spring street, West
Roxburv, Highlands, Central and
Roslindale stations, and at the time
the disaster took place had about
three hundred persons on board
The engine and three cars passed
safely over the bridge, which broke
down just as the fourth car ran upon
it. The car was hurled forward and
downward, striking the further abut-
ment. Its roof was torn off and slid
along the track for many feet. The
body of the car was crushed into
fragments so small that it is impossi-
BILE to locate its remains, and it is
believed that every person in it was
killed. The five cars which followed
went down into the chasm, broken
and splintered. with roofs and floors
gaping and sides smashed out. The
ruins took fire at once, but fortunate
" the blaze was eXtinguished by men
who rushed to the spot at hearing
the noise of the falling train. The
engineer ran the locomotive to the
next station and called out the fire
apparatus, and a large force of po-
lice rallied from a station near by.
The work of rescuing the passengers
imprisoned in the wreck was done re-
markably quick and successfully, un-
der the direction of cool-headed men,
who grasped at once the terrible sit
uation. Some of the wounded were
carried to their houses and some TO
the Boston hospitals, and the unrec-
ognized dead were carried to the city
morgue. On account of the COM
pleteness of the destruction of the
six ears the bodies of the killed
and seriously wounded presented
frightful spectacle. a woman's
corpse was cut in two at the
waist: a girls head was torn from
the trunk Conductor Tilden's leg
was twisted, and some of his ribs
torn from his chest. Other mutila-
tions were more frightfuI.
The engineer of the wrecked train
said to one gentleman: Il felt a
jerk as if an axle had broken, and |
think it is probable that that is what
caused the accident, as this would
have made sufficient jar to throw the
car itself off the bridge and to cause
it to drag the others after it.
One of the things which speak well
for the care of the road is the fact that
the door of every stove was locked,
and notwithstanding the awful strain
upon them, the bolts by which the
stoves were held in every instance
held except in the last car, which got
over the bridge and was wrecked in |
the bank
Nearly all the victims reside in |
Dedham and vicinity. The number
of wounded is 125, of whom several |
will die. 1t seems to be conceded |
that there was a defect in the iron of |

There Is reason for the belief that
the Mormons intend to get the best
of the new anti-polygamy law by
obeving the letter and violating the
spirit Of it. The law prescribes a
test oath for voters. public officers
and jurors These persons are re-
quired to make affirmation that among
other things they will support the
constitution of the United States,
and will faithfully obey the laws. and
especially will obey the act of con-
gress known as the Edmunds Act.
and will also obey the new law in re-
spect of the crimes defined and for
hidden III it, and will not. even indi-
recfly, aid or advise any other per-
son 10 do aught otherwise. 1t is ev-
ident that no one could conscien-
tiOuslv take this oath with the inten-
ton of keeping it unless he intended
10 withdraw his support and cOunte-
nance from pOlygamous institutions.
1t would be impossible in strict ODE
dience to the spirit of the law TO re-
tain an active membership in the
Mormon church as long as it sane
lions polygamy. The law leaves a
strictly honest man but one alterna-
tive: 1t was perhaps too much to ex-
pect. They do not propose to with
draw their rights as citizens. They
are taking the test oath right along
as fast as it can be administered and
going about their ways as before.
The new law was expected to de-
franchise many of the Mormons.
But it does not seem to work well in
that particular.

The woman's municipal suffrage

The woman's municipal suffrage
bill has been defeated at Albany.
This is as it ought to be. When the
advocates of this measure can find
two oil three hundred thousand wo-
men in this state who will sign a pc
tition asking the legislature to grant
them the right to vote, it will be time
enough to think seriously of it. As
it is we doubt if the signatures of
five thousand intelligent and respect
able women could be obtained to such
a petition The women of Massa-
chusetts have the right to vote at
elections for school committees, but
last year out of $4,000 women vot-
ers in the state only !, 911 actually
went TO the polls.-N. 7. Observer

WATCHING THE SHADOWS.


Coming events usually cast their
shadows before them; and now the
lengthening shadows skirtng the
horizon announce a great increase
of capital and population in the
South. It may be generally diffus.
ed over several States, but certain
portions ofAlabama and Tennessee
where mining and manufacturing
is entering on grand forward
movement, promises to become the
centre Of wealth and population.
For the production Of cotton large
capital will find investment along
the Mississippi river and its trib-
utarios, where the bulk Of colored
people will finally find their homes
and follow their preferred customs
ofraising cotton and buying ra-
tions. As a farmer, the negro is a
specialist, and he cant succeed in
the uplands on the all cotton sys-
TEN, but in the rich bottoms he
can.
Northeast Mississippi is between
the great cotton growing district
to the west and the great mining
and manufacturing region to the
east. 1t is wise to take in the sur
roundings add note the changes OF
situation; and while not abandon
ing cotton entirely, to diversity
productions, raise not only home
supplies but for the markets afford
ed by the new surroundings.
Mules, horses, pork, etc, must be
supplied to the cotton fields of the
bottom, and the great mining and
manufacturing thousands on the
other side must be fed; hence, new
markets and new fields Of labor
will be opened up, calling for a
change of agriculture and an in
crease ofhorticulture, fruit culture,
stock and poultry raising, dairy
ing, etc. All that is needed is that
we accept the situation and utilize
all available resources.

One of the editors Of this paper
has at his residence domesticated
partridge. Some weeks since a
colored man brought q couple OF
grown partridges to town tor sale.
We purchased the pair and turned
them loose in a room that was lit
tie used during the day. The
children amused themselves with
them. One Of the birds strayed
out of the house into the back yard
and was killed perhaps by the
chickens. The other sticks close
to the house, runs about from one
room to another, but will not 20
out of the house. By some means
he was left in the back porch one
night, and he was overheard dur
ing the night endeavoring to get
in. The next morning early when
the door was opened he ran in, APP
parently as glad to get home as an
absent child would be. We have
coRversed with several, and never
heard before Of a tanned partridge.
